Return to: Title IX: Table of Contents
Upon receipt of a report of sexual misconduct, a Title IX Coordinator will meet with both complainant and respondent to discuss accommodations available to them, including academic, living, transportation and working situations. A Title IX Coordinator will review information regarding the accommodation options, available assistance in requesting accommodations, and how to request accommodations and supportive measures. A request for supportive measures that affect the accused (i.e. changing the accused’s schedule, changing the accused’s living situation, etc.) cannot be granted without an investigation that finds the respondent responsible of violating the College’s Sexual Misconduct Policy.
At an individual’s request, and to the extent of that individual’s cooperation and consent, the Title IX Coordinator will work with College offices to obtain accommodations. If reasonably available, an individual may be offered changes to academic, living, working, or parking situations regardless of whether the incident was reported to local law enforcement. Examples of options for potential change to the academic situation may be to transfer to a different section of a class, withdraw and take a class at another time if there is no option for moving to a different section, etc. Potential changes to living situations may include moving to a different room or residence hall. Possible changes to work situations may include changing working hours. Possible changes to parking may include having the student or employee park in a different location, assisting the student or employee with a safety escort, etc.
Any witnesses or bystanders who also may need supportive measures and/or accommodations will also be afforded the opportunity to request and arrange such.
To request changes to academic, living, transportation and/or working situations or supportive measures, a victim should contact a Title IX Coordinator as identified in this document.
